Synthetic glass (SiO2 + metal additions)

Opalite

Synthetic Glass (Simulated Opal)

Clear quartz crystal sphere

Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)

Faceted diamond

Diamond; crystalline carbon (C)

Cherry Quartz with Rose Quartz

Crystalline Quartz (SiO2) with glass-based synthetic components

Serpentinite

Serpentinite (composed primarily of Serpentine group minerals, e.g., Antigorite, Lizardite, or Chrysotile)

Blue-violet faceted gemstone, likely amethyst

Quartz (SiO₂), purple variety colored mainly by iron impurities and irradiation

Diamond

Carbon (C)

Goldstone

Man-made glass infused with copper crystals

Decorative gemstone bracelet or jewelry

Unidentifiable from the blurred image; likely colored glass or synthetic stones, possibly mixed gemstone beads

Diamond ring

Diamond, crystalline carbon (C), set in a metal ring

Pearl and Garnet Glass

Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) for pearl; Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) for glass

Zirconia (Ceramic) & Ion-X Glass

Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2) and Ion-strengthened Aluminosilicate Glass

Goldstone

N/A (Synthetic Glass with Copper Inclusions)

Colorless faceted gemstone, likely glass or cubic zirconia

Uncertain; possible cubic zirconia (ZrO₂) or quartz (SiO₂), but the image may show a man-made simulant

Strawberry Quartz (or Sunstone / Tumbled Quartz)

Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with Hematite/Lepidocrocite inclusions

Likely blue glass or synthetic gemstone jewelry

Uncertain; possibly synthetic spinel, cubic zirconia, or blue glass

Ruby / Red Tourmaline

Corundum (Al2O3) or Elbaite (Na(Li1.5Al1.5)Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)4)

Diamond (or Diamond Simulant)

Carbon (C)

Carborundum (Silicon Carbide)

Silicon Carbide (SiC) / Moissanite (natural form)

Corundum (Pink Sapphire / Ruby)

Al2O3 (Aluminum Oxide)

Diamond (or Cubic Zirconia simulant)

Carbon (C) or Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)

Gold ring with a clear faceted gemstone

Likely colorless diamond (carbon, C); identification from the image is uncertain

Diamond (likely) in an antique gold ring

Diamond, crystalline carbon (C)

Garnet-set gold ring

Likely almandine garnet, Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃; the image does not establish the stone’s identity or treatment

Strawberry Quartz (Hematoid Quartz)

Silicon Dioxide with Iron Oxide inclusions (SiO2 + Fe2O3)

Garden Quartz (Lodalite)

Silicon Dioxide with various mineral inclusions (SiO2)

Red gemstone ring, likely synthetic ruby or red glass

Unidentified red faceted stone; ruby is corundum (Al₂O₃)

Red cabochon gemstone ring (likely ruby or red spinel; identity unconfirmed)

Possibly corundum (ruby, Al₂O₃) or spinel (MgAl₂O₄); visual identification alone cannot distinguish these from glass or synthetic stones.

Red corundum (ruby) crystal fragment

Corundum, Al₂O₃; ruby is red corundum colored mainly by chromium

Diamond-set earring

Diamond (carbon, C); crystal structure: cubic

Diamond (or Diamond Simulant)

Carbon (C) if diamond, various if simulant (e.g., Cubic Zirconia ZrO2)

Blue topaz-style pendant (stone identity uncertain)

Possibly blue topaz (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂); the image cannot confirm whether the stone is natural or synthetic

Green Aventurine

Quartz with fuchsite inclusions (SiO2)

Synthetic Sapphire and Ion-X Glass

Single-crystal Alumina (Al2O3) and Ion-strengthened Aluminosilicate Glass

Ruby (in costume jewelry context)

Corundum (Al2O3) with Chromium impurities

Faceted colored gemstones, likely synthetic corundum or glass imitations

Not identifiable from the image; possible synthetic corundum (Al₂O₃)

Pink faceted gemstone, likely synthetic or treated quartz

Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂); exact identity cannot be confirmed from the image

Blue glassy mineral fragment, possibly sodalite or dyed/cobalt glass

Uncertain; likely sodalite (Na₈Al₆Si₆O₂₄Cl₂) if natural, but vivid blue color may indicate cobalt-colored glass

Faceted clear gemstone, likely glass imitation or cubic zirconia

Uncertain; possibilities include cubic zirconia (zirconium dioxide, ZrO₂), quartz (SiO₂), or lead glass
